BEST RIDDLER EVER? McFarlane Toys DC Multiverse Classic Batman Villain Action Figure Review

[@Jazzdumpling]

This channel has become my go-to review source when I’m thinking about getting a new figure. I have learned to trust your judgment.

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Thank you so much! That means a lot to me, and I am happy to help!

[@carlossandez6672]

Excellent review as always Jason, hopefully this figure will inspire Mcfarlene to give us more classic Batman villains (Scarecrow and two face come to mind)

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Those are two in particular I very much want!

[@lordvader7489]

Would love a Ras Al Ghul

[@TheRealLemur]

How do you get into a locked cemetary at night? Use a Skeleton key!

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Yep!

[@greenbean8839]

He reminds me of the villian from lazy town and every time the camera is close to his face I think of 'we are number 1'😂

[@5POAFigureReviews]

I also got some Robbie Rotten vibes from him. RIP

[@dominikdickey4906]

I absolutely love that classic Riddler design. As for other classic Bat-rogues, I'd love to get a Two-Face, a Scarecrow, a Mad Hatter, and maybe a Killer Moth. Most of all, though, I'd like to see a real comic-style Joker, because as good as the Three Jokers are, I just have a specific design in mind that McFarlane sadly hasn't gotten to (yet🤞🏻). Amazing video/ review, Jason! I'm definitely gonna try to get this Riddler to go with my Knightfall Batman. Also, (since it feels appropriate for this video) here's a riddle: There were three men in a boat with four cigarettes and no matches. How'd they manage to smoke?

[@5POAFigureReviews]

They threw one cigarette away to make the boat a little lighter. Thanks for the kind words!

[@edrianraneses5864]

I hoped you get to review the Green goblin and mary jane watson 2 pack figures soon and compare those to spider man you have man

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Sorry the delay. Goblin and Mary Jane was going to be next, but then I got a good deal on the OG Sandman wave Goblin and thought it would be great to be able to compare them. It should be my next video

[@orinanime]

Obviously the body type is too muscular for what I'm about to say, but does anyone else think that the face sculpt has a fairly strong likeness to Robin Williams (who was in consideration for The Riddler at one point but turned it down because he was mad at WB for being used as bait to get Jack Nicholson to play The Joker)

[@5POAFigureReviews]

I can absolutely see it!

[@nocturnaldreamzz]

I think I have to get this figure. That’s a steal. I wanna get some more classic figures too. Great review as always!

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Thank you!

[@glennjthompson332]

Same here!😄👍The Riddler IQ is going thru the roof of his mind!😅😉

[@waldensmith6384]

We really need a hush poison ivy. We are about to have 2 variants of hush Superman, a hush Batman with kryptonite ring to fight him, but still no poison ivy to control Superman. I think if they do a poison ivy I’d like her to come with several vine pieces, with different sizes to fit on both smaller and larger frames figures.

[@mayormccheese6451]

I’d love a stand with bendy vines

[@5POAFigureReviews]

I would also love a Hush Ivy, but I am excited by the possibilities of the Uma Thurman they teased at Comic Con. I say teased because it was only a digital render

[@5POAFigureReviews]

That would be cool!

[@BadAssXerx3]

great review, I think my fave Riddler design is from Arkham City, haven't read that much comicbooks with him as villain

[@5POAFigureReviews]

It's funny because Arkham City is one of my least favorite Riddler designs lol it's the rolled up suit sleeves and and the purple combat boots. But that's me and my tastes

[@nostrem82]

awesome vid 🤘 enjoyable as always lovin this riddler my favorite is still the Gorshin one but this one is a very close second

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Yeah, Gorshin is still my favorite live action Riddler

[@berniedavis6676]

I would love a McFarlane silver suit Jim Carry Riddler.

[@5POAFigureReviews]

That would be great!

[@alexrosado3933]

Riddle me this, riddle me that who watched and enjoyed both videos on both riddlers and has them on the shelf ?? Awesome video and very cool dio/back drop

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Thanks! I worked pretty hard on that one. I'm bummed out though because I even put lights in the tubes but they didn't show up.

[@alexrosado3933]

@5POAFigureReviews lol I knew it , I was like hmm do those light up ?"" Maybe green or purple ? It's still awesome, especially the posing.

[@timvanboening9432]

Mine will be here tomorrow. I am very excited to get a classic Riddler to go with my Knightfall (CLASSIC TO ME) Batman. He’ll look great with the kitbashed Joker I made from your recipe. For figures, I want a classic Two-Face, Poison Ivy, Scarecrow, Ra’s Al Ghoul (that Grundy wave one was not enjoyable to me), Ventriloquist, to name a few. I’d really like a harlequin suit Harley Quinn so I could retire the juuuuust too small and crazy-eyed DC Direct one.

[@timvanboening9432]

Just got him in the mail. This guy is fantastic! I’m a-okay with him being a beefier body. This figure is solid gold and compliments my Batman and Joker.

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Glad you like it!

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Wait till you see the recipe I am working on for Tim Drake!

[@CRIS_IS_ON_INFINITE_EARTHS]

Hell yeah thank you Jason!! I'll definitely pick this one up I love this body mold and head sculpt!!

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Glad you liked it!

[@M.W.A.M]

Nice review! Do you plan on getting the variant and reviewing him?

[@fernandodelgado4329]

I think the variant Riddler from McFarlane is the Super Friends version I believe.

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Undecided. He will be hard to get for sure, and honestly I don't know how to approach a review of him that won't just be a repeat of this one. But if I can get him for retail and think of a creative angle to approach a video, sure thing.

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Yeah it's Super Friends

[@susanketpal4799]

Love your reviews, keep up the good work. You're a good guy.

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Thanks so much!

[@noah5941]

almost 20k subscribers, I love to see it. keep up the great work

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Thanks so much Noah!

[@chet_inator_gator]

Arkham City body with the Classic head gave me Bruce Campbell vibes! I was going to pass but now I need both 😂 thanks for the head swaps!

[@5POAFigureReviews]

I have always believed that young Bruce Campbell would have made a good Batman, but now that you say it, I'd loved to have seen him as Riddler.

[@chet_inator_gator]

@@5POAFigureReviews Whoa haha, never really considered him for Batman but I can see it too! In a real-life elseworld, if Army of Darkness was a huge global hit, that would’ve been perfect timing for Campbell to take over on the Schumacher films. Although, I know it’s not common but I really like Kilmer’s take in Forever haha.. But for me Campbell could easily replace Clooney. He is probably the only actor of the time who could’ve made all the wonky choices and bad jokes in B&R work!

[@Happy.Hippo.49]

Thanks for the review! Pushed me over the edge to buy this

[@5POAFigureReviews]

You're very welcome

[@rebooting80s]

Great review 👍

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Thank you!

[@petefischer3820]

Thank you for the review!

[@5POAFigureReviews]

My pleasure, Pete!

[@fernandodelgado4329]

Riddler is definitely a cool unique Batman villain because my own personal favorite versions of the character in media are Batman The Animated Series along with Batman The Brave and The Bold cartoon, Also, Three Jokers The Clown is a very classic-ish Joker enough for me to have in my collection, Overall, Fantastic review.

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Thanks Fernando!

[@jacobhorn95]

Really happy to see a video up today, been a rough one, but your content always brings a smile to my face. Thank you.

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Thank you Jacob! I am glad I can do that for you and that today's video came at a time you needed one.

[@Dragondude2525]

I hope your channel keeps growing. Great content.

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Thank you so much! That's very kind

[@johnpaulguevara3977]

Greg Capullo Riddler pls

[@orinanime]

Great review. Loved the opening.

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Thanks so much!

[@fernandodelgado4329]

My paycheck is coming this week and hopefully Gamestop has Knightfall Batman up for pre-order or so because the figure looks cool and I also do hope they have the new comic Marvel Legends Blade because I don't even have a Blade action figure at all.

[@5POAFigureReviews]

The only Blade I have is the old Toy Biz Spider-Man Animated Series one, so I am long due for an upgrade

[@WayneJayne24]

I really like this riddler figure. Im definitely getting him to maybe turn him into jim carrey since we're getting val kilmer batman in the 6-pack batman set. Im still waiting for keaton batman, but i might wait until they release val kilmer batman alone to make this riddler work with him like i said im gonna turn him into jim carrey to make a Batman Forever display.

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Nice!

[@spdrwrtr]

Good review; are you gonna cover that exclusive Blue Beetle? I got one and I think's it's a 5of5

[@5POAFigureReviews]

I have the two pack version already, so probably not. I have seen it, though, and it is great! Like this Riddler, a goodly amount of accessories.

[@thescarletandgrey2505]

With a skeleton key

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Yep!

[@Tebigong101]

I was only going to collect the heroes, but I had an opportunity to get Bane so now I'm collecting villains, the only thing is which version do I get. Do I go with the more classic versions or go modern... it all depends how Two-Face and Penguin look

[@5POAFigureReviews]

My prediction is we get an Arkham City Two-Face before a comic. But a comic would be the smarter way to go. They need a solid suited body. They could reuse it for multiple.Two-Faces, Lex Luthor, Clark Kent, and so many more.

[@christopherrichmond9143]

Answer: with a skeleton key

[@5POAFigureReviews]

You are correct sir!

[@orinanime]

A skeleton key

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Yessir!

[@MightyNilrac]

Hey Jason, how well does these Riddler hands fit on Blue/Grey Batman Hush hand pegs? I'm wondering if these extra purple gloved Riddler hands could be swapped in on the upcoming Detective Comics #27 Batman which uses the Batman Hush body. The purples aren't an exact match, but could be a nice alternative for this upcoming Batman.

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Excellent idea, but sadly the peg holes on the Riddler are larger than the Batman pegs, so they fall right off.

[@MightyNilrac]

@@5POAFigureReviews You're the man! Thanks for trying it out and getting back so quick! Bummer the hands are incompatible. Hope you have a great weekend.

[@ratskid77]

Use a skeleton key

[@5POAFigureReviews]

You bet!

[@DanielMartinez-zi6uy]

Was that a spoiler for the next video? Jay Garrick?

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Nope, sorry. But I did do a Jay Garrick video already! It's a Versus with Impulse.

[@johnlinscott7408]

Where did you get that Riddler throne?

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Glad you like it! I put it together myself from some miniatures of the Thinker I found on eBay

[@mariov4701]

Today i found him for 19€, he’s not my favourite Bat-Villain but probably the best Riddler in his scale, so i grabbed him, eventually would be topped only by a Jim Carrey version. (that i’m waiting for)

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Yeah this is a great one. I also love me some classic Riddler. Really hoping for a Carrey and a Capullo

[@CRIS_IS_ON_INFINITE_EARTHS]

Am I crazy or is this Riddler figure kind of a really good Superman figure?🤔😵‍💫

[@5POAFigureReviews]

I have seen online someone do a custom using this body, AC1000 trunks, and a Mafex Hush head and it's honestly the best 7" Superman I have ever seen

[@CRIS_IS_ON_INFINITE_EARTHS]

​​​​@@5POAFigureReviewsThat sounds like an IMMACULATE custom! Thanks for telling me about it! Though I will say it's actually this Riddler's head sculpt that gave me this thought along with the muscular body mold, if it had a spit curl and no mask I think it'd be McFarlane's BEST Superman head sculpt!

[@noah2920]

The answer to the riddle is, "you use a Skeleton Key." It's not so much a riddle as it's an old cheesy joke haha. And the Napoleon riddle's answer is, "Corsican AKA Of Course I can..." Yeah, I don't exactly get that one either. I also find it hilarious that the one time no one would mind them re-using Kent or Reverse Flash's body, they go with a bulky sculpt.

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Yep! Lol ah well. I'm still happy with him as is

[@blacknight7559]

That ain't the Riddler, thats the Rizzler

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Lol.oh yeah. Rizz for days

[@skywarp1216]

I gotta admit it's a really good figure but it's just not "my Riddler" I always picture Riddler with a three piece more than a onesie

[@5POAFigureReviews]

I do too, but I have a soft spot for this look

[@skywarp1216]

@@5POAFigureReviews that is true

[@drakocarrion]

He's entirely too buff for my liking. I prefer my Riddler to be skinny. It was always his mind that was what challenged Batman, not his physique.

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Intellectually, I totally agree. But like I said, based on toy history with previous Riddlers, I'm okay with it. More reason to hope for a Jim Carrey.

[@drakocarrion]

@@5POAFigureReviews Honestly, I bought an extra Three Jokers criminal Joker body to make a custom Riddler with

[@user-ph4ig9wx1f]

I agree with Jason. Maybe they could make a batman forever wave like batman and Robin. Then we would get Jim carie

[@DCMultiCollector]

This is how Riddler was first drawn. The Arkham version is probably more your speed.

[@drakocarrion]

@@DCMultiCollector I hate the Arkham designs. & The Riddler's first appearance was nowhere near this hench. He didn't look like this until the late 70s. & even then it wasn't for very long

[@mondayadams8166]

Clearly arkham riddler is my absolute favorite But maaaaaan Can we get a fuckin two face please? Like for real. Come on

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Right?????
